Porsche will launch a limited edition version of the Boxster roadster inspired from the Type 718 RS 60 Spyder of the 60’s at the 2007 Bologna Motor Show in early December. The most significant change (for Porsche purists that is) is the modified exhaust system made up of a sports exhaust combined with a dual tailpipe that increases engine output to 303 bhp. -Continued after the jump

The special edition model is offered in a GT silver metallic paintwork accentuated by the red roof and natural leather interior in Carrera red. Alternatively, Porsche also offers the choice of dark grey natural leather in conjunction with a black roof. The front end of RS 60 Spyder taken as a standard feature from Porsche’s SportDesign Package distinguishes the car from the Boxster S while the car sits on Porsche SportDesign 19-inch wheels.

Other unique features include the windscreen frame finished in black and red rear light clusters as well as the centre console, while the rear sections of the seat backrests, the rollbars and the seat-belts are all finished in GT silver metallic. Also, there are door trim strips made of stainless steel bearing the “RS 60 Spyder” model designation, a sport gearshift lever, special surface grooves in the centre sections of the sports seats and the centre door linings as well as on the steering wheel rim and handbrake lever. Finally, Porsche removed the binnacle otherwise positioned above the instrument cluster which is finished at the front in GT silver metallic.

The new Boxster RS 60 Spyder’s production is limited to a Special Edition of 1,960 units with the market launch starting worldwide in March 2008. Including 19 per cent VAT and country-specific requirements, the retail price in Germany is Euro 63,873 (approx $94,800) the base price Euro 53,500 (about $79,500).
